Congratulations Anna and thank you for the update. 
I took part in exchanges a few years and it was fun. 
Happy lacemaking.

 I am wondering since there have been quite a few changes to the way we do
things post COVID, should we also change how we operate?
I personally love the email exchanged we have had over the years and I love
how much I have learnt and people whom I have met.
So I am suggesting that we keep Arachne as is.

If people want ornament or other lace exchanges then perhaps someone ought to
put their hand up to run it.

I have recently been elected as President of the Australian Lace Guild and
the
guild has restructured as well. As the first President of this restructured
guild I really have my hands full trying to organise two conferences, one for
this year and one for 2024. I am also on a steep learning curve on editing
web
pages. Last time I edited a web Page was in the mid 1990s and we used HTML as
a programming language. Yes the school in which I worked had its own intranet
since there were very few educational resources online in those days.

For the first time the Australian Lace Guild has a National Administrative
Committee made up of individuals in every state. This would have been
impossible in 1979 when it was set up. Now we are communicating in real time
using our various devices in real time.

At present I want to focus on my current commitment and just continue to lurk
on Arachne.
